I originally went with a GROUPON. During that first meeting I was highly pressured by the "counselor" Jaime Romantic to extend the deal from GROUPON and sign a contract for an extended period of time. (Later I realized that I was never provided with the services from the GROUPON itself.) We went right into the contract. STUPID ME!
The contract was $109.00 for 19 months. Why was I so stupid? It began on 3/14/13 and was to end on 10/15/14. Initially, I had to pay a $202.00 fee.
So, I'm stupid, I realize. The stupidity didn't stop. Not only was their no support; the only thing they provided was to come in 2 x's a week to get weighed in and they provided me with a small shot of B12 and gave me vitamins to take daily. THAT'S IT FOLKS! NOTHING MORE THAN BEING WEIGHED IN, WHAT DID YOU EAT, TRY HARDER NEXT TIME AND HERE'S A LITTLE SHOT OF B12 AND YOUR VITAMINS. No suggestions on what to eat, what I was doing wrong, etc. So, I stopped going and stopped paying last August.
Now, here I am, with a debt of $1,700.00 that is in collection. I just made payment arrangements to pay off the debt but I am not happy about it. HOwever, they've trashed my credit and in order to improve that, I need to pay off the debt. STUPID ME!!
RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ANY GROUPONS, LIVING SOCIAL, ETC., WHERE PHYSICIAN WEIGHT LOSS IS CONSIDERED.............DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! IT'S A SCAM.....A TOTAL SCAM. Go to Weight Watchers or simply push yourself away from the table. That's my suggestion.
I original saw this add on groupon for $99 dollars and figured maybe this will be something great for me. I only needed to drop a little over 20lbs. I have a ton of hormone issues that hold me back from dropping the weight like most women. I needed an extra budge to help. I did not purchase the groupon online, they told me to just come in and I could purchase it from them for a dollar more. I said not a problem. As soon as I got there they asked for my card and charged me before even going over anything with me. I felt a little pushed off by it, but I continued. The women helping me Tori was a gem. So she does my BMI and all my measurements. Then sits me down and goes over everything with me now.You need to buy this and that and this and more of this. She shows me a detox paper. What to eat and not eat. I told her that I exercise everyday and already follow everything that is on this paper. Her response to me is "oh" I'm a health nut and a gym freak. She says well you can come back next Thursday to talk to the physician about maybe getting a jump start on the appetite suppressants. I said okay, the doctor isn't here today. Not until, later. Ah ok. We have to do your blood work another day. Hmm okay. So, I singed everything. She told me about buying more stuff. 45 packets to put in my water for 50$ then 8 lipo b shots for 100, so I'll go ahead and have you pay. I was like oh so now I have to purchase a ton more things. In my mind I was thinking this is not a deal, but I continued. I told her I already paid for it. ( if she would not told me this prior, I would not of been ok with prepaying with no con.) Did my EKG....
Cool gave me my minerals and multi fits and made an appt for tomorrow for blood work and b12 shot.
Thought about it, talked it over with my babe and some close girl friends. Fellow nurse friends. Amanda you got scammed. You are so healthy. I don't even drink! (Anymore) haha
I called back and said I was disappointed and discouraged about my visit. I never even saw a doctor. I want a refund. I will happily bring back my multi vit pack . Tori said she will talk to the owner of the pwlc. Wait what! It's a franchise! I said that's fine, I would pay for the difference in the EKG.
Hello!!,
I get a very defensive rude phone call back from the Owner. Jerry. Oh man, if I had a dollar for how many times he called me young lady... How dare you talk down to me. I am an educated women.. Anyways... I asked for a refund, he said no. I asked why. He said he gave me a $200 dollar service. I asked him what that was. He said I told have to tell you! I laughed. He said don't laugh at me. I told him I would pay for the difference of the EKG. He didn't even know the price of one. Smh!! After 10min of him talking in circles about giving a detox program. ( it's a piece of paper that tells you to eat veggies and meats ) no carbs. UM DUH. He continued to yell at me and tell me he will not give me a refund. I said you are so unprofessional. Yelling at a paying customer and saying you signed a contract. I did because I already paid or I would not of! I will take blame for that. I will on the other hand write a review about you and let other people know. I will report you to the better business bureau. Enjoy my money PWLC of Webster! Horrible manners Jerry.
Also Groupon... Stop using this horrible pyramid scheme franchise company.
